Miracle Mile - Cold War Kids

This piano sounds angry but gets you started on the required head bobbing before the chorus where the drums hop in and make the song explode. The lead singer, Nathan Willet, does not necessarily have a pleasant singing voice. For a man, it sounds slightly whiny but if he sang perfectly that would make him a boring pop singer. This way, he has his style with his slightly rough persona he maintains on stage. he softens up for there bridge though and the song is great throughout the chorus.

WALK THE MOON put on a great performance! They kicked off their show with Different Colors which is appropriate because it is also the first song on their new album Talking Is Hard which their tour is named after. It pumps everyone up and is great because it keeps everyone excited enough that they can slow it down for some songs like Aquaman and people are still about to jump out of their socks. They play every song off of their new album and of course plenty of the older goodies. Nick Petricca also took some time out of the show to preach about the fandom that you are welcomed into by becoming a fan. While it makes me think that for every young fan that they have, they are a wonderful influence. But it was awkward for my friend i brought along who will never let me hear the end of how I had brought her to a cult meeting without telling her. I was actually kind of shocked that they seemed to portray jenny as an angry song. I always just thought it was about Jenny is being sexy. I mean, she's got a body just like an hourglass. of course they tried to end on Shut Up and Dance but the fans were having none of that. WALK THE MOON is not allowed to leave the stage without singing Anna Sun so of course they came back for a great encore that included a cover of All These Things I've Done by The Killers. It was a great tour with a great band. I can't wait to see them again at Firefly Music Festival!

anywayican - WALK THE MOON

anywayican has to be my favorite song off of the Tightrope EP. It has an even drum beat that makes it have a more tribal sound before it smooths into the fast chorus that makes it feel as if the singer is chasing in circles. The lyrical story also is cute to me because it just seems kind of ridiculous yet relatable at the same time. The title fits it perfectly because the line "any way I can" is said so quickly and it just seems to easily roll off of the tongue.
